I recently finished the Baroque Cycle after having bounced off of it a few years ago - this time around I appreciated it so much more.
It's his masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to see it as a series, but good lord... how long would it have to be to actually do it justice? How many scenes of Isaac and Daniel talking about geometry or philosophy? It's so difficult for me to imagine somebody actually making such a sprawling thing because I feel like the attention span of modern viewers could not tolerate it.
I feel like we could only be left with an elided "adventures of Jack Shaftoe" version which gives short shrift to the court drama and scientific conversations, resulting in a partial and unworthy adaptation.
